Your feet smell like rotting corpses, Ed!

I see we have a story offering etiquette tips on how to dress for the office during the summer. This helps me a lot, because my “office” is in my home. My coworkers are two dogs and two cats, so I’m afraid my dress code may be slipping as the heat rolls in. I need some good advice.

“Sandals are iffy for men. Be sure your feet look and smell appropriate for business…”

Hey, slow down, etiquette folks, so I can take this all in. You’re saying if my feet stink like a Porta-John and I have curling yellowed toenails, and small rodents keel over dead as I walk by in my sandals, then maybe I should go back for shoes and socks, huh?

This is is GREAT stuff! Tell me more!

Flip-flops are distracting. They make noise and expose your feet. The weather might be sweltering hot, but do you really want your boss raising her eyebrows about your feet?

Okay, again with the feet? I’m not pointing fingers here, but somebody seems obsessed with foot stuff. What else should I know?

“For men, think twice before wearing loafers without socks…”

Stop it with the feet! Right now!

“For women, the more skin you show, the less influence you have….”

Really? You think so? Not in the world where I live, here on Planet Earth.

Okay, that’s sheer nonsense, pardon the pun. If you allow the women to wear sheer fabrics, short skirts and have bare midriffs, I guarantee you the guys are gonna make that smelly foot thing go away pretty fast.

Thanks a lot, Shra and Spinster, but I like to think my blog performs more of a public service than just making readers happy. I like to think most of my readers found useful information in that post, and are having their feet professionally washed right now.

I’m told I have beautiful feet. It’s true! I have no deformities, ugly nails, corns, warts, extra toes, crooked toes, etc. I never wear sandals, but I often wear flip flops.

But the truth is, I have terrible feet. I have chronic plantar fasciitis from more stress fractures than I have kept count of, and my feet often hurt from being repeatedly stepped on in football and basketball.

And all my life, I’ve been told I have very sexy legs (by both men and women!) In the summer I always wear shorts when I’m not wearing a suit. Maybe I should check out this kilt thing for the office, eh? Oooh. Sexay!

The first Friday of June (yes, June 4th this year) is Doughnut Day. Both DD & KK have freebies! Go early, go often!
I would like to propose that Doughnut Day be declared the official holiday of the Oddly Enough blog. Do I hear a second?

Sitting at my table with a glass of wine and listening to an acoustic guitar player’s tunes drift in on the breeze. And now I have this image of a doctor in a kilt rolling through my head. Who needs donuts?????
